the cold can affect their durability. let's check the forecast right now. you are going to need something cool for today. >> it may actually be t-shirt weather by 9:00 this morning. you can see how quickly things will be warming up hour by hour. 1:00, mid-80s inland. i do think 90s are in reach for the north bay valley, east bay and san jose south. today, more like august instead of april. that's the story for today's temperatures. as you head toward the middle part of the week, sea breeze starts to kick in. two days that look and feel more like summer outside. mike? >> remind the kids, school still in session. 101 moves smoothly through palo alto. northbound head lights. 101 shopping center, a smooth drive, no problems there or at

the streets. they have to know whether crime does happen, it is going to be investigated. >> the victim is expected to recover. no word on any suspect description. a $5,000 reward is being offered for any kind of information leading to an arrest. 5:33. san jose police say it is amazing no one was killed after someone fired several shots into a car full of people. outside a popular south bay nightclub. police say the shooting happened around 2:00 a.m. sunday morning in the parking lot of this fiesta nightclub on monterrey highway in south san jose. officers are trying to determine if an argument inside the club led to a gun fight outside. in san lorenzo, police are trying to figure out how a woman died in her own driveway. the woman, believed to be in her 50s, was found early sunday morning outside of her home on silv silver leaf drive on east 14th street. the sheriff's department says the coroner will now determine

whether the woman was a victim of the crime. >> the woman accused of stealing an suv with an 11-month-old girl from san jose inside is expected to make her first court appearance this morning. the stolen vehicle led to a bay area wide amber alert. she went back inside the house to grab something. when she got back, the child and the vehicle were gone. five hours later, they found that suv with 11-month-old gabrielle safe inside in a driveway across town. three weeks later, officers arrested 30-year-old carla hernandez for that crime. she is facing kidnapping, child endangerment and auto theft charges. we are looking at the end of april but rob says it is going to feel a little more like august. temperatures as warm as the low 90s in a few spots. we are starting to see some of the signs that we will be looking at a warmer day than

yesterday. san jose in oakland, comparing that to 24 hours ago, we are about 5-7 degrees warmer. we are off to a running start with the temperatures this morning. same amount of warming that we saw yesterday. the numbers will likely get into the low 90s. notice the wind direction, slightly offshore. high pressure reaches its maximum intensity today. look at how it has cleared out the entire northeastern pacific from british columbia down into san diego and northern baja, california. no signs of low clouds for now. once the low clouds return to the coast, that's when you know we are going to start to see the cooling trend take place. in the meantime, numbers close to 80 around san francisco and oakland. low 90s inland out toward the tri-valley and areas south of san jose. when you are talking about low 80s and upper 90s, tomorrow, not quite as warm. as the sea breeze comes back in full force, we will see those numbers cooling quickly toward

the middle part of the week. >> we are looking for that sea breeze right here. the ocean, golden gate bridge moving very smoothly. we will have construction blocking a couple of lanes on the north side. ov overnight, we did not have that. the cones were moved earlier. here you go into the golden gate bridge in the city. just north of north san pedro, southbound with these head lights. smooth drive. a crash on todd road farther north of santa rosa. might be an issue off of the shoulder. the road, itself, is open, watch for that coming off 101 from the west. we will get a look at the maps. we see the north bay coming over the richmond bridge. no problem either direction. the commute direction, a smooth drive to a little slowing around the s-curve.

yesterday, more than $600 million in automatic spending cuts went into effect or the faa which means travelers here at sfo could see delays up to 90 minutes. there was no real impact yesterday, because that was sunday. today is the real test, because air traffic is much heavier, a weekday. how are the automatic budget cuts expected to cause delay? they are expecting them to furlough one day every two weeks through september. as a result, airports will have to delay takeoffs so short staff control towers don't get overwhelmed trying to land the airplanes. the airport is feeling the brunt of these cuts shall those in new york, d.c. and chicago's o'hare, which might have to close one of its control towers. what happens there trickles down to here on the west coast. the airlines and pilots have gone to court to ask to block these cuts. they are arguing it is going to tremendously snarl air traffic. the earliest they could get a hearing would be sometime later

this week. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, thank you very much for that report. 5:39. still ahead, could the boston bombing have been prevented. why lawmakers in washington want to know more about the suspect and his entire history with the fbi? >> plus, from the red carpet to jail bars. why an oscar winning actress is now facing criminal charges.

welcome back. 5:42. lawmakers have a lot of questions for investigators in the boston bombing. they center around whether key warning signs were missed. the older brother of the two suspects had been questioned by the fbi before. tracie potts joins us live with more. good morning, tracie that was back in 2011 at the

request of russian intelligence. they cleared him after he traveled to russia and came back with no travel restrictions. in light of what's happened, in light of remaining and lingering questions about whether he may have been radicalized there or whether he had any terrorist ties, now the fbi is facing heat for that. listen. >> i want to know how the fbi or the system dropped the ball when he was identified as the potential terrorist. it was a mistake. i don't know if our laws are insufficient or the fbi failed but we are at war with radical islamists and we need to up our game. >> at some point, they have nothing. you can't ask them to do something with nothing. >> in the meantime, the 19-year-old younger brother who survived is in a hospital in boston. he is being questioned by the high value detainee interrogation group. those questions and his answers for the first 48 hours without a miranda warning not admission i

believe in court. prosecutors say they have plenty more evidence to convict him. laura? thank you very much. the bombings resonating worldwide, not a tribute to here in the united states. the runners in london holding their own memorial. yesterday, 36,000 runners stood in silence for 30 seconds before the beginning of the race. that race was held under some extremely tight security. in fact, officials say police presence was increased by 40% over previous years. they point out that extra security was meant to reassure the public and was not a response to a specific threat. >> 5:44 this morning. relief crews are rushing food, water, and other supplies into china's szechuan province after a major earthquake killed more than 188 people and injured more than 11,000. the hardest hit area, mountainous. it can be very difficult to access. heavy machinery and trucks

carrying supplies moved slowly along rhodes partially blocked by debris. at times, first responders have used t used dynamite to try to clear roads backed by landslides triggered by the quake. >> five people have been killed after a chase and crash involving border patrol agents near tucson, arizona. they tried to stop a chevy tahoe with 20 people inside. a high-speed chase ensued ending a rollover crash. a young boy was among the five people killed in that crash. at this hour, still not clear exactly why the border patrol started chasing the suv. a california elementary school teacher is accused of helping third grade students cheat on a standardized test. they are investigating the case. a student told the principal the teacher had helped several students with test questions on the star exam. burbank unified said if the charges are approved, the test scores could be declared invalid

map as things warm up quickly heading into the afternoon. we don't have a sea breeze but something opposite. a sign of high pressure building in over the bay area. winds out of the east into livermore and napa. all the way out to the coast, you are going to see some warm temperatures, unfortunately, almost summerlike air quality levels you will see as we go through the day. some brown layer of haze right over some of the buildings near oakland. you will see the skies not as clear as they probably should be. air quality will improve for the middle part of the week as those temperatures cool off and the sea breeze returns. not today. we have clear skies from our inlani inland valleys out to the coast. no storms coming our way. as we go through the afternoon, no signs of any low clouds. today, we will see those temperatures soaring well into the 70s at the sea shore.

head out to pacific a. numbers out to the 70s. further down the coast towards santa cruz, temperatures will climb into the 80s this afternoon. 82 actually cool, compared to the rest of the bay area. upper 80s and low 90s around san jose. tri valley looking very much like a summer afternoon. those numbers in the low 90s. over to san francisco, 78. 89, santa rosa. things start to cool off a little bit tomorrow. you will notice the cooldown heading towards wednesday and thursday. winds back on shore again. our temperatures dropping quickly as we pass the middle part of the week. mike? >> first, we'll show folks this first burst of volume of traffic coming toward me. typical for a monday just before 6:00. it is 5:48. we'll show you the map overall. not a dramatic slowdown. we have speeds dipping down towards the 50s. 87, a concern. basically, just before you get

to kertner in toward 880. so far as i can tell, based on the live cameras, i did catch a peek. as we track that, i do want to call out this for north 85. as you are approaching union avenue. we will watch. it sounds like all the activity is off to the shoulder. no major slowing. you can see this happened a few minutes ago. so far, a smooth drive over towards north 17. 17 south for a little bit of relief. we look at fremont coming down into the area, the south bay southbound side picking up the volume just a bit. tesla, a little bit before you get there on the northbound side. into and out of the south bay. for 880 and 680. hold on to this shot. i want to talk about 880. 92 to san mateo bridge. reports on the smoking car and shoulder, that may be a krconce. i wanted to hold on this shot

not to confuse it with the bay bridge. the bay bridge, nothing unusual. cash lanes, fast track moving smoothly. a clear view approaching the berkeley curve. we with you see the metering lights turned on in about 15 minutes this is what warrior fans did not want to hear. the team will be without power forward, david lee, suffering a torn hip flexo during saturday's game against the denver nuggets. that injury happened late in the game. the game was very close but in the end, the nuggets hold on to win this one. they beat the warriors, 97-95. game two set for tomorrow night in denver. tip-off set for 7:30. moving on right now, still ahead, the racers, they will be honoring some runners this morning as the tributes for the boston marathon bombing victims continue. we will show you how the nascar drivers ended up paying their respect this weekend.

we'll take a look at why this could get cheaper coming up.
